Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

Robinson says one form refers to murder with premeditation and the other is murder with extreme indifference to human life.

Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.
No, I read the article, I just don't understand how the double charge isn't double jeopardy (you know, from that old fashioned document we used to care about; The Constitution).Looks like somebody didn't read the article

Well I'll call excel and volunteer to take a $5 increase on my electric bill for a month if they warm up ol sparky for this guy! I don't want my taxes supporting him for the next 60 or more years.

Most times in these types of charges they throw as much as they can at the guy. That way when half get withdrawn, plead, or found not-guilty, they are left with what they really wanted.
Kind of like when someone lists an item for sale high, the buyer offers low, and in the end they meet in the middle where they both really want to be.

being charged with multiple charges for the same act is not double jeopardy.
The trial and execution should have been completed already. Defendant has a right to a speedy trial.
